Chapter 764: Celebrities in the Town
The eastern border of the United Kingdom of Aldru and Alculus (hereinafter referred to as the Kingdom of Alculus) is exactly connected to the southwest periphery of the vast Warcraft Forest. Although the distance from Kars Town to the eastern border of the Kingdom of Alcus and the World of Warcraft Forest spans almost the entire Kingdom of Alcus, with a distance of nearly a thousand kilometers, it is not very far away in comparison. .
The little old man felt proud and said: "I have only been to the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest, and I don't dare to go further in."
The drinkers said: "Oh, that's it. Also, the World of Warcraft Forest is not a place that ordinary people can go to. Those who dare to go deep into it are the top masters in the world. But even if you are on the outside, you can't go there. It's amazing."
The little old man nodded and sighed: "Yes, the Warcraft Forest is too scary. If I go there again, I can't guarantee that I can come back alive." Although he was sighing, But he was still overflowing with joy. It was a very proud thing to be associated with words like 'Top Ten Forbidden Lands'.
The woman in white patted the table: "Hey boss, don't talk about your reputation. Get some food over here first. Don't let us just sit here."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm here, I'm here. .”
Two plates of cooked beef tendon and peanuts were served. This cooked beef tendon was really badly cooked, and I don’t know how it tastes, but it looked like a mess after being cooked, and it didn’t have any taste at all. However, these two women were dressed a bit well and were not picky about what they ate. They ate the overcooked beef tendon with gusto.
The two women are not picky, but the young man sitting at the same table is a bit picky. He is still peeling his peanuts. In fact, there is no need to peel the peanuts. There are peanut kernels on the plate, but he still has to remove the red layer on the outside of the peanuts before he is willing to eat them, so the table There was already a layer of debris on the ground, as if he had been sitting here for a long time.
The woman in white has been looking at the young man next to her. Apparently this man who is not interested in her has aroused her interest. She gently tapped the remaining peanuts with her fingernail polish. He picked up the dishes and asked: "Hello, which mercenary group you are from, maybe I know."
The young man then raised his head and looked at her again, pursed his lips slightly and smiled at her and said, "Hello." After saying that, he lowered his head and concentrated on peeling his own peanuts.
The woman in white was a little angry, and the other party's attitude made her very embarrassed. Just when she was about to say something more, the woman in black next to her reached out and held her down. She glanced at the woman in black and calmed down the anger in her heart.
For a while, the restaurant became quiet again. Everyone was drinking their own wine. Even the other three people sitting at the same table did not talk to each other. The atmosphere in the air was like hazy weather. Still a bit dull.
The wine shop was dull for a long time, until the sound of a carriage was heard on the street again, and everyone's eyes turned outside.
The carriage arrived in front of the wine shop and stopped. It was a very luxurious car. The caravan the two women in the store were riding in was simply shabby compared to this big car. This large cart is said to be a carriage, but in fact the monsters pulling the cart are not horses, but two black cold-blooded lizard dragons wearing metal spike armor.
"Who's in the car? He's actually using a cold-blooded lizard to pull the car!" There was a whisper in the wine shop.
The two cold-blooded lizard dragons were trapped by the iron rope. They kept baring their teeth and screaming in an unruly manner. The armored beast pulling the caravan next to them was greatly frightened and tried desperately to escape. Here, the driver can't hold him back no matter how hard he pulls.
Although the cold-blooded lizard dragon is not a real dragon, but an earth-walking dragon, a kind of large lizard, it has fifth-level strength. Ordinary people with middle- and high-level strength would want to have this kind of thing. A magical beast came to protect him. Especially for people in the knight profession, if they have a cold-blooded lizard as a mount, their strength will at least be greatly improved. However, the owner of the cart in front of him actually used it to pull the cart, which was equivalent to using the luminous pearl as a glass bead, which was really extravagant and wasteful.
"This person is so high-profile." The woman in black murmured.
The woman in white said: "Sure enough, as rumored, since Master Raphael was assassinated here, many celebrities have come to this unknown town."
The small town of Kars was where Master Raphael took the lead in getting Saint Bikea and Demon Moon to sign an armistice agreement. Many people who have just arrived here find it hard to imagine that the place where such an important agreement was signed would be such a dilapidated town.
In fact, Ravel chose this place for the two countries to sign the armistice agreement. Firstly, it was because it was within the territory of a third country, and secondly, because it was very close to the frontline of the battle between Saint Vicoia and Demon Moon. It is convenient to monitor the movements of the two countries during the signing of the agreement. However, this agreement was not signed in the end, and Master Rafal was also buried here.
Since Rafael was assassinated here, this peaceful town has become less peaceful. Many masters and celebrities in the world have come here because of Rafael's death. More mercenaries and tourists also came here, but just to see these celebrities.
The drinkers in this wine shop are probably like this right now. They are staring at the luxurious car, hoping that the person getting off the carriage is a big shot with enough weight, so that they can satisfy their curiosity. Heart, I hope to see the person I admire.
The carved wooden door on the side of the luxury car opened, and an old man in his sixties or seventies stepped out of the carriage. This man has gray hair, a big beard, and a rather burly build. He wears a dark green magic robe with no pattern decoration. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with only his right eye. In his right hand, he holds a book with an ocher red cover. The book seemed to be a magic book, and there was a badge hanging on the left chest of his robe.
This badge is not the gemstone badge of a green-robed magician, but a golden three-pointed star buckle. Everyone who saw this star buckle was stunned, because this star buckle was not an ordinary badge, it was a badge of honor reserved only for core members of the Magic Guild.
"Who is this person?" "I don't know, I have no impression."
"That three-pointed star buckle should be the badge of honor of the Magical Union General Union, then He is the honorary mage of the Magic Guild, and he should be a famous figure."
"But who are the honorary mage of the Magic Guild?"
Several people in the wine shop looked at each other, but no one recognized their identity.
The woman in white at the corner wine table said: "Sofina, you used to be from the Intelligence Agency of the Demon Moon Empire. Do you know this person?"
It turns out that these two people are dressed in black and white. The women are none other than Chen Sufina and Tanina Judy who came out of Palin. After leaving Palin in March, the two of them traveled aimlessly for several months near the border between Saint Bikoya and Demon Moon, and then came to the small town of Kars where Master Raphael had an accident.
Sofina recalled it and shook her head.
She has not been working as an intelligence agent for a long time. Since her last mission caused her to suffer cruel treatment, the Demon Moon government has canceled her field mission. Instead, she worked as a teacher in a college while pursuing further studies, and took on part-time responsibility for the country's internal security work, allowing her to have time to heal her psychological trauma.
Indeed, the honorary mages of the Magic Guild are not as famous as mercenary leaders and imperial generals. If you suddenly meet one on the road, not everyone will recognize it.
However, after the young man who was peeling peanuts glanced at the person outside, he said a name: "Edric Pat."
Sophina heard The name immediately came to mind: “Yeah, he’s Edric Pat. "
Judy asked: "Who is this Pat?"
Sophina said: "It's not surprising that you don't know him. His name is not very popular in human society. Famous, but has a high reputation in a minority society.”
Judy knew that the so-called "minority races" refer to demi-human and orc races other than humans, such as centaurs, green squirrels, dwarves, etc.
Sofina said: "He has been fighting for more rights for ethnic minorities in human society, so he is loved by many ethnic minorities. However, this person's magical achievements are not very high. He has a good family background, allowing him to become the Magic Chief Engineer The honorary mage of the association. I don’t remember which generation he was from, but there was someone who was one of the twelve sages of the Holy Garden.”
“Oh, so that’s what he said. Rafael is still somewhat related, so it's no wonder he came here," Judy said.
After listening to their explanation, everyone knew the origin of the person in front of them, and they couldn't help but look at the honorary mage named Pat in front of them a few more times. No matter what, he can be related to the Holy Garden. People who can be related to the Holy Garden are not ordinary people.
But Sofina was more interested in the young man across the table. Not only did this young man recognize Pat's identity at a glance, but he also didn't care much about Pat's appearance. Obviously, this man Not just any ordinary person. And right now, the people who will come to the town of Kars, apart from those who come to see the celebrities, are those who really want to investigate the death of Rafael.
The young man poured the last bit of wine in the small barrel into the wine glass and called to the boss: "Bring me another barrel of wine."
It's not that there are no taverns in this small town. In the center of the town, There is a bar with pretty good decoration specifications. It's just that since Rafael and the representatives from all the countries decided to come here to sign the armistice agreement, the bar and many surrounding residential buildings have been requisitioned by the town government.
After Ravel's death, many countries sent their own investigation teams, and for a time there were not many places to drink in the whole town. As more and more people came, each resident opened a family-style inn in their home, which also made them a lot of money. This is also the reason why many people stopped in this shabby little wine shop. .
